                   NEW ROLLS-ROYCE ENGINE SELECTED TO POWER                    
                  DASSAULT'S NEW SUPER MID-SIZE BUSINESS JETS                  

Rolls-Royce plc, a world- leading power systems and services company, announced
today that it had been selected by Dassault Aviation to power the next
generation Falcon super mid-size business jet with a new engine in the 10,000
pound thrust range.

The engine, developed through the Rolls-Royce technology acquisition
programmes, is the first of a new family of engines designed to meet the most
stringent performance, reliability and environmental requirements of the
corporate and regional aircraft marketplace.

This will be the first partnership between Rolls-Royce and Dassault in the
business jet market. Rolls-Royce is the leading engine supplier in the sector
with a 34 per cent market share. Rolls-Royce engines power more than 3,000
corporate aircraft worldwide.

The total super mid-size business jet market for propulsion systems and
services, in which the new Falcon will operate, is valued at US$40 billion over
a 20-year period.

Charles Edelstenne, Chairman and CEO, Dassault Aviation said: "We are very
happy to have Rolls-Royce as a partner on this programme and believe that the
new combination of Dassault and Rolls-Royce will be a winning formula in the
rapidly growing business jet market."

Sir John Rose, Chief Executive, Rolls-Royce, said: "This agreement marks an
historic step in the development of our corporate aircraft engine business and
further establishes Rolls-Royce as the leading supplier of engines and services
to the corporate jet and regional airline markets. We are delighted to partner
with Dassault, one of the world's premier aerospace companies, and look forward
to a long and successful relationship."
